Anti-rebound bar for Britax seats

I have a quick question about the Britax anti-rebound bar and I thought the Canadians on here might know best since your Britax seats come with the ARB...

I know that the ARB increases the amount of space that the seat takes up by maybe an inch or a little less. Does that ~inch in any way result in more leg room for the rear-facing child? And does the ARB make it any more or less difficult to tighten the harness?

Thanks! I know that the Clicktight and G4 seats have different ARB's, I am looking for info about each of them.

In my experience with the clicktight boulevard it does in some cars, doesn't in others. Depends on the contours of the seat. (In the Ody we have it does.)

If it gives more leg room, I would hate to try it without the ARB! I have a G4.1, and I hate the limited leg room (I have an Odyssey). If it were a more open seat, it wouldn't be as bad, but it's such a narrow seat on the inside as well. I find it annoying to buckle my small 2 year old, so instead I'm saving it for our baby due next year.

I have a Roundabout, and the ARB is much more compact than the Foonf, for example. I don't know what it's like without it, but it's pretty upright. My 22 lb. 2 yr. old fits comfortably in it though.
